Arsenal are in advanced talks with Werder Bremen's German international defender Per Mertesacker.
All there in black and white!

Song for Mertesacker (intentionally bad), to the tune of "It's got to be Perfect" by Fairground Attraction:
"He's got to beeeeeeee PER-fect,
He's got to beeeeeeee worth it,
All of these people, slate our defence,
But Mertesacker's fucking immense,
He's got to beeeeee PER-fect"!

He's 26, German International, Captain of his club side. I'd say he's of the same ilk as Hangeland but has slightly better mobility.
There are better options in German football if you ask me.

We all know it will be "There's only one Mertesacker, one Mertesacker".

Why not both?
I'd say Wilshere will be annoyed if hes not signed.
